ICT Computing

Pupils will apply and use mathematics in a variety of ways when they solve problems using ICT. For example, they will collect and classify data, enter it into data handling software, produce graphs and tables, and interpret and explain their results. Their work in control includes the measurement of distance and angles, using uniform nonstandard then standard measures. When they use computer models and simulations they will draw on their abilities to manipulate numbers and identify patterns and relationships.

With the advent of the new 2014 curriculum and a move from IT to Computing, the role of mathematics is greatly enhanced.

Lesson ideas

  • Numeracy is embedded within spreadsheet (formulae) and database work (predominantly through graphing and calculated queries) across all key stages.
  • Perhaps more interesting though is the innate relationship between computing and numeracy and the possibilities this holds.
  • 3D modelling and coordinates using Google sketch-up including 3D printing
  • Codes and Ciphers - CountOn Code Breaking

ICT Computing | Lesson ideas
This wiki contains ideas to help you develop numeracy in your lessons and across the school. Some of the ideas presented are taken from some excellent numeracy across the curriculum documents produced by Deptford Green School, the Friary School, Leicestershire Numeracy team, All Saints CCFL School, and the Kent Advisory Service (curriculum support in mathematics) amongst others. Please take the time to visit the Resources page to take a look at these documents and the associated weblinks in the Useful Links page (2 really useful ones are the Maths Zone and Suffolk Maths and a good blog post from @numberloving here). Other ideas are developed by teachers/educators who have contributed directly or indirectly to this wiki.
